Didn’t Halsey run his DD aground before WW2? His career survived that I think.
I read from www.StrategyPage.com that the rate of Navy Captains being relieved of command was at an all time high....maybe due to “zipper failure”.
A lot of these folks have made higher command because of who they know, that they’ve been oh so PC and that they haven’t “risked” anything...it’s inside influence, not competence...so USN, you reap what you sow...just sayin’....
